The PS3 will likely not get access to 4.0 areas and quests, but that isn't to say they will drop all support completely. They might just restrict access to those areas, but allow PS3 players to continue playing in ARR/HW areas.

Best case scenario for the complete drop of PS3 support would be to allow the transfer of the PS3 service account to either PC or PS4 depending on player preference. The problem therein lies with PS3 players with no PS4 and no PC with the hardware to handle games like XIV.

And they want to avoid outcry because of the dropping on the system. So until we get word from SE... We'll just have to wait and see.
